The aim of the present research was to provide a strategy for the start‐up of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors treating sugar cane vinasse, with emphasis on the relevant sulfur compounds along the reactor height. To this end, a laboratory‐scale UASB ...
In recent decades, academia has elaborated a wide range of technological solutions to recover water, energy, fertiliser and other products from municipal wastewater treatment plants. Drivers for this work range from low resource recovery potential and cost effectiveness, to th ...
The assessment of the criticality of raw materials allows the identification of the likelihood of a supply disruption of a material and the vulnerability of a system (e.g. a national economy, technology, or company) to this disruption. Inconclusive outcomes of various studies ...
The SPPD-WRF framework
A novel and holistic methodology for strategical planning and process design of water resource factories
This paper guides decision making in more sustainable urban water management practices that feed into a circular economy by presenting a novel framework for conceptually designing and strategically planning wastewater treatment processes from a resource recovery perspective. M ...
BACKGROUND: Microbial community dynamics during the anaerobic digestion of vinasse has been little studied. However, having knowledge about it is essential for early detection of reactor operational difficulties to apply preventive actions. This research studies the microbial ...

A case study on televisions in Vietnam
A comparative assessment of anaerobic digestion power plants as alternative to lagoons for vinasse treatment
Life cycle assessment and exergy analysis
The treatment of vinasse in lagoons causes methane emissions during the anaerobic decomposition of the organic matter. The recovery of this methane, to produce renewable energy in anaerobic digestion power plants (ADPPs) replacing fossil fuels and reducing greenhouse gas emiss ...
